Hello:
In the draft-ietf-isis-wg-mib-06,we defined :
SystemID ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
       STATUS       current
       DESCRIPTION
          "A system ID."
     SYNTAX            OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..6)),
but I think the size of the SystemID should be biger the we defined, because that in command line we input the net such as "net 10.1111.1111.1111.00",the SystemID is "111111111111",in protocol's internal process we can treat it as 6 bytes,but when we want to get the value of SystemID by the management system,we can't put 
this value in a octet string which is only 6 bytes,since this value should be 12 byte to display.
The same problem is in the OSINSAddress,CircuitID maybe.
Is that right?
Thank you!
